Roasted Balsamic Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 lemon (zested & juiced)
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard (or more, to taste)
- 1 garlic clove (or more to taste, minced)
- 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (approximately 120g per breast half)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
Instructions
- Mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, and garlic together in an oven-safe baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the vinegar mixture.
- Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Roast chicken in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Add tomatoes to the baking dish and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Sprinkle lemon zest and drizzle lemon juice over the chicken.
